#WIPsnips: ‘spend’

Meghna‘s 11yo sister wants to know why she’s agreed to do the community centre’s Christmas play alongside her ‘enemy’

#romancebooks #writesky #writingsky #authorsky #booksky #writingcommunity #writers #writing #YA #YAlit
Her eyes widen. “Meghna, your love interest in the play is your arch nemesis. That’s low-key problematic.” My face goes cold. I never told my family Oli and I had fallen out. Padma must’ve heard people gossip about it today. Padma hops down from Surma’s bed and sits on mine. “Who’s the favour for?” I dig into my bag to turn my face away from her. “No one you know.” “I’m sure I’ve heard of them.” She goes and sits on the other bed, probably to assess my face. The girl’s relentless. “You’ll spend all your free time until Christmas with Oli. That’s a huge sacrifice. Who’s it for?” When I keep rummaging in my bag, Padma warns, “I’ll find out soon enough.” I fall back on my bed and close my eyes. “The favour is for Oli.” Because there’s no reply from my sister, I open my eyes—and scream. Oh, it’s just Padma’s face hovering above me. “You better tell me everything, my little cloud.”

I figured this #snippet was a bit too long for WIPsnips but I thought I’d post it anyway🤷‍♀️

a ‘rain scene’ is kinda like a staple of romance novels😉

#YA #YAlit
We take in the heavy rainfall through the glass panels of the entry door. My car isn't far but we'll get wet on the way there. "Should I go bring your coat and my umbrella?" Meg's head jerks back. The expression on her face suggests she's taken aback in a good way. "Nah. We'll run for it." "I'll go open your door. Count to five and come out." Stifling the urge to tug her ponytail, I leave her side; the chill emanating from her says she won't appreciate my teasing. Jogging to the passenger door, I pull it open; it's facing the apartment block so Meg has less ground to cover. I keep the door open with a hand and turn towards the building— Meg almost bumps into me. I obviously underestimated how fast she can jog in those heels. Halting a step away from me, she blinks in the rain. I want to kiss her. My free hand goes to her waist. Meg inches closer at the contact. I zero in on her lips, dimpled with rain. She comes closer and I almost shut my eyes—but they stay open to see her squeeze into the car. She was seeking shelter, not my embrace.

#WIPsnips: ‘run’ > run lines✨

(In denial much, Oliver?)

#romancebooks #writesky #writingsky #authorsky #booksky #writingcommunity #writers #writing #YA #YAlit
Meg's not amongst the people leaving her Psychology classroom when I arrive at the end of her lesson. She left early to avoid me. I was hoping to run lines with her before rehearsals, seen as she missed yesterday's practice. I had to read with her understudy, Priya; the Drama student is really good and more deserving of the role of leading lady. Unfortunately, something was missing between us. Sanya would say the chemistry wasn't there, but I'm not sure why we didn't click.
